Now, because...

176. I. IF A MAN PERCEIVED AND FELT THE OPERATION OF THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE HE WOULD NOT ACT FROM FREEDOM ACCORDING TO REASON; NOR WOULD ANYTHING APPEAR TO HIM TO BE AS FROM HIMSELF.

It was shown above (n. 27-45), that heav...

327. III. THE MAN HIMSELF IS IN FAULT IF HE IS NOT SAVED.

When this truth is acknowledged it is also acknowledged that good can be turned into evil not by a good...
